Use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression S
Use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression. Simplify the result if possible. Assume all variables represent positive real numbers. log8(4 2/3)
Solution
log8 (4 2/3) = log8 4 + log8 (2/3) = log8 4 + log82 -log8 3 = log8 4 + 1/2( log82 - log8 3) ( as log ab) = log a + log b , log(a/b) = log a - log b and log ab = b log a)
